I dont think they are rare by any means. 88' vert wheels, also have a 4 bolt spare tire that doesnt seem to have been used. Maybe once or twice. I am the 3rd owner of my car, the previous owner bought the car in 1991, the car didnt have a spare so the dealership tried to sneak in a 4 bolt spare, the owner made them aware it needed the 5 bolt pattern. they found him a 5 bolt spare and told him he could keep the 4. i also have the center cap wrench.

No...not yet.
If you're asking if it's plug-n-play...not even close.
I'm going to track down the wiring diagram and see how much of it can be spliced in.
Luckily, my unit came with cut plugs, so I know the wire colors.
Some of the wire colors are identical, but I cannot confirm I can just splice them in.
I would imagine there's a different sub-harness, as I wouldn't think Mazda would design a totally new dash harness just to use this thing.
There's a nice write-up somewhere in here that goes into a little detail about how it all works.
There's a temp sensor that unique to this system.
This is not a priority to figure out anytime soon, but I'll work on it eventually.

Lately it seems that it's much easier finding really nice 4 lugs, than it is finding a decent set of 5 lugs. I've got to see what kind of wheels you've got!
Brand New Switches are pretty rare
RE Amemiya Strut Tower Bar
FEED Strut Tower Bar
RE Amemiya Spark plug wires. (they used to be hard to get until they popped up on ebay and corksport)
JDM FTPs. (It's really the only picture I have of them)
JDM Bubble lenses (not rare, but hard to get)
RE oil cap
Safety 21 roll bar. (not really rare, but not a whole lot of people have it.)
I've also got an old school RE Amemiya boost/vac gauge and RE Amemiya Power Aero mirrors not pictured.
CWestFD3S and I are JDM Parts ******!

Staggered 16X8 rear 16X7 Front 5 lug Watanabe RS-8 two piece wheels (very light)
Old school Nardi Steering wheel (never seen this specific model)

[QUOTE=JYM;8200723]I have the same wheel, just in a different color. Didn't think it was really rare.QUOTE]
you said it yourself........(different color).....sometimes the color separates rare from the unrare
